Basically, they want their cake and to eat it too.
I remember a few years they were crying because Facebook was stealing their traffic, people didn't go to the websites to read the news, so they didn't click ads. Facebook was basically stealing their money!!!

The problem is that this view is shortsighted, because with these new laws you talk about, people still don't go to news websites, and in fact get their news from alternative sources (and most of them, not good).
So now they are crying, again, but for the opposite reason.
